Field trips are an important part of our training classes (where each year 20-50 people take 100 hours of training in order to become SWS members)
This fall, the 2017 class took a field trip to the Stilliguamish River, learning about log jams from Tamera Neuffer, education outreach coordinator of the Stillaguamish Tribe.
